[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 1538876, member: 1210"] Through the eternal night of the Negative Energy Plane our heroes fly on the back of the weird phantom flyer. Blackness is above and below, and to all sides. Their conversations are subdued; the plane around them is oppressive with nothingness. This is the Void. Lester shudders. For an interminable period they wing their way through the darkness. The phantom flyer is silent, tireless, faceless. After a time our heroes grow tired, and rest; and many of them again indulge in lucidaphen. They found a considerable supply of it in the Tower of Dreams, but much of it appears spoiled to some extent. Nonetheless, our heroes continue to consume it, eagerly searching after prophetic dreams. To some, nothing comes; to some, strange, hard to understand visions. Ulla and Londo see death and traps, and shiver. The flight continues, hour after hour, until our heroes grow tired again. “A [i]commune[/i] I did said that this will take a long while,” Lester tells them wanly. “At least we’re protected from the effects of the plane,” Orbius says with a shudder. “What would that do?” asks Horbin. “Suck the life right out of us.” “...I see.” *** Days pass, though they are marked by no sun, no light, no clock. Our heroes are restless; were it one alone, she might go mad from loneliness. As it is, tempers fray during the journey, but nobody comes unglued. The fact that they all know that they can escape via [i]gate[/i] or any number of other methods is reassuring and helps them keep their minds intact. Finally, after a monotonous, seemingly-endless journey that sees everyone sleep at least a half dozen times- most doze a lot as well- a distant speck resolves against the utter blackness everywhere around them. It is directly ahead of them, and clearly, it is where the phantom flyer is taking them. Slowly it grows in their vision, until they are close enough to see it; and by that time- by the time that darkvision or lightsources reach it- it becomes apparent that it is another great green face, like the one in the Tomb of Horrors that the party followed to Moil, the City That Waits. Only this time, instead of a void, the mouth houses a door. There are no visible discouragements against taking it; as the phantom flyer settles on the ledge that extends before the mouth like a great tongue. At the rim of the ledge, before the doorway, is a lantern shedding a dim emerald light hanging on an iron post. Beside this, on the door itself, is an inscription: [b]Fortress Of Conclusion.[/b] The party stretches and takes a few moments to work the kinks out of their long-immobile bodies. Then, almost reluctantly, they turn to the door. “This is it,” says Lester. Thrush opens the door. [i][b]Next Time:[/b][/i][b][/b] Desatysso’s Renewing Reward- the most horrible trap of all! [/QUOTE]
